Curling Has Arrived

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Season Opens November 5th for First Ever St. Louis Curling Club;
Lessons, Open Play and League Play Available for All Skill Levels 
U.S. Ice Sports Complex and St. Louis Curling Club bring
Olympic Sport to Area
October 27, 2010 (Fairview Heights, IL) – Every four years, television viewers around the world are fixed to their screens taking in the most curious sport of the Olympic Winter Games.  Local curling fans need not set their DVRs for Sochi 2014 to see their favorite teams sweeping the ice.  The St. Louis Curling Club is open for play at the U.S. Ice Sports Complex in Fairview Heights, IL.


Friday nights at 6:45 p.m., beginning November 5th, the U.S. Ice Sports Complex and the St. Louis Curling Club will offer lessons in stone throwing (delivery), sweeping and most importantly, how to stay standing on the ice. Leagues are forming now, but you don’t have to join a team to join in the fun.


 “Curling is a very social sport," says Nancy Rogers, St. Louis Curling Club President. “We’ll cover the basics during our Friday night lessons and introduce new fans to the sport. You can learn how to play in an hour and then spend the rest of your life perfecting the game.”


Curling is a game of strategy, often compared to chess. Two teams of four are pitted against each other as they maneuver 42 pounds of solid granite across the ice and onto a bull’s-eye target using brooms to scrub the ice to keep the rock from veering off course.  A game is made up of 10 ends (like innings). An end consists of each member of both teams shooting two stones across the ice. For each stone closer to the center of the target than any of the opponent’s, one point is scored.


For scheduling and registration information for a Learn to Curl class, pick-up game or joining league play, visit the U.S. Ice Sports Complex website, www.usicesports.com or call 618-398-4600 ex. 109.  Class sizes are limited and no prior experience or equipment is necessary.  The St. Louis Curling Club is a member of the United States Curling Association.

First Fundraiser Planned

It's finally here! Time to get the St. Louis Curling Club up and moving! Step One is... getting the money to purchase equipment! Our first fundraiser is working concession stands at the Edward Jones Dome! This is a great opportunity for all of us to chip in and get things rolling. Our club will receive a percentage of the sales from the stand that we work. I checked with some folks working the stands at a Rams' game, and the program got rave reviews! It will be a nice start towards getting some rocks on the ice, and before you know it we'll all be nursing bruises!

In order to participate you must be able to attend a training session on one of the following dates: Tuesday, October 12 or Wednesday, October 27, from 6 to 9pm at the Edward Jones Dome. We will be signing up to work just four dates, which have not been determined as yet, but they are primarily on weekends.

How to help? E-mail Rob Skaer (Fundraising Committee Chair) at fossil.hunter @ hotmail.com. We'll be getting things together ASAP and will get back in touch with you! Thanks!
